The opposition National Democratic Congress will on Tuesday November 30,2021 hold a town-hall meeting over the 2022 budget.
It comes after the Minority’s opposition to the budget which was presented to Parliament last week by the Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta.
“The National Democratic Congress (NDC) hereby announces that the party shall hold a Town-hall meeting on the 2022 “Awudie” Budget Statement delivered to the August house of Parliament,” the party said in a statement Friday.
Meanwhile, MPs are expected to vote to approve the budget or otherwise today.
